Royal Park Primary Academy
Sidcup, DA14 4PX · Bexley · primary school
8th of 55 primary schools in Bexley we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.8/10 against 2,417 of them, against 9.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 34.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.48 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 34.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Reading, Science, and Arts and Crafts clubs, or participate in sports including football, netball, basketball, handball, multi-sports, athletics, rounders, and gymnastics. Arts and music options include cheerleading and dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 346 pupils in a building with 416 places, leaving 70 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
